Windows 10: Can't change resolution after restart

Hello Everyone!


Today around 2 hours ago my screen turned to "no signal" while I was playing VR. After I was finished with my play session I realized that the screen had no signal so I unplugged the HDMI cable from my monitor and back in, only to find out it didn't work so I restarted my computer, after that the resolution turned to 1024x768, so I went to change it, opened Display Settings and opened the resolutions tab, where the only 2 options were the same resolution and 800x600. Now, the thing is that my resolution is 1920x1080.


I have tried absolutely everything I knew and looked up on either support pages, google, and youtube, I've done everything from updating drivers, uninstalling drivers, unplugging the graphics card. I honestly don't know what to do anymore... Please internet, use your magic powers to rescue a fellow gamer.
